Virginia Regulator Says Data Centers Get A Hidden Rate Break
SCC staff attorney Andrew Major branded Dominion's Rider T-1 allocation a 'glaring cross-class subsidization' in filings before this week's hearing.
- Dominion Energy's Rider T-1 sets the rate data centers pay for grid infrastructure costs in Virginia.
- Major's filing argues the current allocation shifts costs onto residential and other ratepayers who cannot opt out.
- The SCC holds hearings this week and must rule on the docket by August 1.
Why it matters: A monopoly utility does not err by accident: it charges most the customers who cannot leave the grid.
